In primary school, I wasn&#8217;t your typical girl, picture a dark skinned, fairly tall girl for her age who wore a scarf and was a buzzing tom-boy all in one. That was who I was and I struggled with it but mainly because I was larger than everyone when I say everyone I mean, everyone. The boys were scared of me due to my height (I think was due to the fact that they were jealous of my height LOL!). <\/p>\n<p>The girls well they accepted me for who I am but obviously, they could tell I wasn&#8217;t into the same things there were such as running to the corner of the playground and performing the latest single released by Girls aloud or the Sugababes. I was more into playing with bayblades and doing cartwheels in the grass and getting my tracksuit dirty with grass stains. I honestly think I became a tomboy due to how close I was with my little brother and tried to play catch up with him, I should blame him for my struggles in primary school really. <\/p>\n<p>But as you can see I&#8217;ve made it through my tomboy ordeal and many other obstacles that I had to face in terms of learning to accept who I was, rather than altering who I was for people to then begin to accept me. It was not an easy journey I am still embarking on it as I type, I face new challenges each and everyday just when I think I have conquered one. <\/p>\n<p>Throughout this blog, I will be taking you through memorable moments in my life that have raised me up, as well as moments that caused my confidence and self-belief to plummet.<\/p>\n<p>This is only the beginning I cannot wait to open up and touch on subjects such as social media and how celebrity lifestyles have had a huge impact on the way I thought about the world whilst growing up. <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_93\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93\" style=\"width: 203px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blog.buprojects.uk\/2016-2017\/marimamsanyang\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2017\/01\/tumblr_mfw9h0cjMn1rdtdoho1_500.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blog.buprojects.uk\/2016-2017\/marimamsanyang\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2017\/01\/tumblr_mfw9h0cjMn1rdtdoho1_500-203x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"203\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-93\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blog.buprojects.uk\/2016-2017\/marimamsanyang\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2017\/01\/tumblr_mfw9h0cjMn1rdtdoho1_500-203x300.jpg 203w, https:\/\/www.blog.buprojects.uk\/2016-2017\/marimamsanyang\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2017\/01\/tumblr_mfw9h0cjMn1rdtdoho1_500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-93\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You see a black and white waterfall, I see a lot more.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I never thought I would be able to &#8230; Sit here today and write about what I have been through and what I have experienced to shape me into the woman that I am today.
